Let’s face it: leather armour might not be the strongest, but it’s definitely the most stylish—especially when you add your own colour. Whether you’re designing team uniforms, roleplaying, or just want a custom look, dyeing leather armour in Minecraft is super easy and fun.

Here’s exactly how to do it—on Java, Bedrock, and even in cauldrons!


🧱 Why Only Leather Armour?

Only leather armour (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots) can be dyed in Minecraft. Iron, diamond, and netherite gear? No dice—those are meant for power, not fashion.


🛠️ What You’ll Need

Before you get started, make sure you have:

✔️ Leather Armour Pieces
✔️ Dye(s) – Any colour from flowers, plants, ink, or crafted dyes
✔️ Crafting Table (Java)
✔️ Cauldron + Water + Dye (Bedrock)
✔️ Bucket (for water on Bedrock)


💻 Java Edition – Crafting Table Method

  1. Open your Crafting Table
  2. Place one piece of leather armour into the grid
  3. Add any dye (or mix multiple dyes for a custom colour!)
  4. Take your newly dyed armour

✅ You can mix dyes like red + blue for purple, or experiment for unique shades.

🎨 Want to recolour? Just repeat the process with different dyes.


📱 Bedrock Edition – Cauldron Method

  1. Place a Cauldron on the ground
  2. Use a Water Bucket to fill it
  3. Right-click or tap with your dye to tint the water
  4. Right-click/tap the cauldron with your leather armour piece

💡 The colour transfers to your gear, and the water level goes down slightly.

✔️ You can also mix dyes in the cauldron to create unique colours.


🧼 How to Remove Dye from Leather Armour

Want to start fresh?

🪣 Just use a Cauldron with plain water and right-click/tap your dyed leather armour into it. The colour will wash off!


🧠 Pro Tips

🔹 Use dyed armour for team colours in PvP or mini-games
🔹 Combine multiple dyes for custom shades
🔹 Great for roleplay, themed builds, or even camouflage!


🎮 Final Thoughts

Dyeing leather armour in Minecraft is one of the simplest ways to add flair to your fit. Whether you’re showing off team colours or just vibing in your custom shade, this is a fashion-forward flex every Minecraft player should try.
